As XRP attempts to defend a crucial support level, an analyst has called for a 
30%-40% rally in the coming weeks, suggesting that the altcoin could see 
short-term relief before it reaches its “critical inflection point.” Related

‘Dogefather’ Meme XRP Defends Its &#8216;Lifeline&#8217; On Friday, XRP saw a 2.5% 
intraday retrace to retest the $1.43 area before bouncing above the crucial 
$1.40 level. The altcoin has been hovering between $1.34-$1.50 over the past 
month, recently attempting to break out of the range’s upper boundary. During 
this week’s market rally, the cryptocurrency surged 15% from the weekend lows, 
reaching a one-month high of $1.60 on Tuesday. However, broader market 
volatility has pulled XRP back into its local range, leading the altcoin to 
retest a crucial area. Analyst ChardNerd affirmed that the altcoin is 
“currently defending a lifeline as it clings to support” and that he expects 
continuation to what he believes will be its “critical inflection point” in 
the coming weeks. XRP has been trading around its 200-Week Exponential Moving 
Average (EMA), currently at $1.41, with multiple closes below it and a bullish 
reclaim above this level in the latest weekly candle. As he explained, this is 
the key guardrail that the cryptocurrency must defend as the end of the week 
approaches, as it would set the stage for a new retest and potential reclaim 
of its $1.50 resistance and a relief rally toward two crucial levels above, 
the 20 EMA and 50 EMA. “So, what I&#8217;m trying to say is XRP could potentially 
have some sort of relief in the coming months, up towards these EMAs, which 
sit between $1.80 and $2.00. And if it gets this relief, that will mark a very 
critical inflection point.” He further emphasized that XRP must defend and 
hold the 200 EMA, as it has reclaimed the critical support level in the weekly 
timeframe and pushed the price toward its recent local highs. Why An April 
Rally Is Likely Diving deeper into the potential upcoming relief rally, the 
analyst observed that in previous cycles, XRP also had a “very interestingly 
unfolding price action.” He noted that after peaking in 2021, the altcoin fell 
to the 200 EMA, saw a relief rally toward the 20 and 50 EMA before being 
rejected and ultimately dropping to its bear market lows. Now, the 
cryptocurrency has done “exactly what we did in the prior cycle peak in 2021,” 
significantly retracing from its July 2025 peak and falling back to the 200 
EMA. Notably, the altcoin saw around three months of relief after the 
successful back test, which could signal that “this is where we could see the 
next sort of few months, if Bitcoin behaves.” Related Reading: Solana Eyes

previous relief rally took place around March 2022, ChardNerd asserted, noting 
that “It doesn’t have to repeat the exact same way.” If the March relief rally 
doesn’t retest the $1.80-$2.00 in the next week, the analyst suggested that 
“there is a possibility that it lasts a bit longer than it did the prior 
cycle” and continues into April or May. “So, this is why there’s still the 
potential, I think, to get the push to $2 and then XRP comes back to $0.80 to 
$0.70,” he concluded. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from
